because paul ryan is so risky. paul ryan is very controversial. he became the face of his own budget plan, which essentially calls for turning medicare into a voucher system. don't forget, the democrats, a while ago, ran an ad which actually had paul ryan or someone who looked like him, pushing an old lady off a wheelchair, because he was about to take away her medicare. so he's a lightning rod for democrats. on the other hand, and this is what some republicans are applauding, it's a bold move by mitt romney. they didn't think he had it in him. it's a bold move. this is somebody who will focus the debate on entitlement reform, on the economy, what we're going to do about the debt. so, in a way, mitt romney is really doubling down on his economic argument, and i was talking to a former romney adviser about this. and he said to me, he said, you know what, paul ryan is exactly like somebody mitt romney would have hired at bain capital. he's young, he's smart, he gets the subject and he's kind of a fellow wonk. which is what romney is. he likes to loo

paul ryan is dynamic, personable. america will like paul ryan as a person. whether they like his plan is something else. he energizes conservatives. his budget blueprint has probably done more to galvinize more since the tax cuts 30 years ago. but the plan itself is a very dramatic retrenchering in the federal role of the society. it anticipates federal deficits until 2040. it is about reducing the role of the federal government and including rolling back major entitlement programs that benefit the middle class. as a result this plan has never really enjoyed majority support particularly the medicare components. that will be a challenge for ryan and romney. >> that now alunates the camp particularly as it goes to elderly voters. many of the voters might be saying if medicare now then what's next? >> the ryan plan really has big changes in it. medicare now as it currently exists you go to the doctor or the hospital the government pays them for providing a service. under the ryan plan you get a check to go out and eithe buy private insurance or stay in the cur
